I shoot a whole lot of pictures of my wife's violin students-- a lot of the world that makes for beautiful and moving still images... leaves a bit to be desired aesthetically when translated into audio and video. :D That said, I really enjoy the silent, 5-10 animated gif format and I'm sure that as a format the short moving picture will come a long way from where it.
